    I do not eat pig meat, but as fat we can use different fats. Sheep fat is also easy to prepare for being kept outside the fridge or freezer. And cook with fat, the meat that is given to us of course we are not going to eat our pets or beautiful flowers…

    The big companies who often also do hybrids and weed control let me say it nicely, buy the smaller ones if they become to big. They just want to control all they can, make everyone depending on them. Buying seeds, poisons to spray every time they crow a crop and year after year.

    The smaller ones that save seeds and become a danger, will be sued and be controlled that way.

    Most that crow for gene and seed banks are no competition and help to keep genes they need for producing hybrids.

    Forgotten a part … sorry for the lost of crops, hope you fruit trees will make it. Same problem over here each year, some years lucky and some no fruit. Important the bushes and trees stay alive, keep growing on…

    Nana is around 6 months, she really likes to be pet but if you clean her cage nope not having that. Just let her be and move on, no time to wait till she is ready again.

    Mr rabbit can do his job soon with Nana, around 8 months before a year right?

    Glad your pets are all doing fine, it was cold brrr. But with good housing, food water and care they can have a lot.

    My best friend she is like my little sister, has Guinea pigs the big ones. Comes over today to bring her bedding, lives in a village. She gets ready to use compost for her flower garden.

    We have our breeding and meat, but for the record they are pets used for therapy and we grow flowers.

    Nana is being a princess, she has a little bit of a attitude a little bit mutch. She will not let you pet her, if she does not get it her way. So ok close up and let her be, wrong of course though luck missy no time to play your game.

    Miss and mister rabbit are coming soon, pick them up this week hopefully.

    And how are youre pets doing?

    Like looking in a mirror, hold on there you are also moving heads up.

    Our house there is no where to hide, only in the garden so you can run but not hide. But most time I am the one going out, for my therapy in the garden. Petting and flowers, the best conversations with God who knows all.

    After many years doing sports, meditation works good problem is one time I fell asleep never had that aldo others say I am gone they can not snap me out. I know was very tired, but the meditation part I can remember, the sleeping part I missed.

    Anyway the punching bag does good to, bike and running.

    Good luck with moving!

    Nope no way, because it is not for (our) freedom Having the governme(s) not behind or on your side but against, is a whole different ballgame.

    Just going to hug pets and plant flowers.

    Sad you have to go true that your whole life, but good to see you made you lifestyle give you a steady home to feel save.

    I think homesteading (freesteading) and following God, is one of the best ways to have a blessed life. Now we all know we have to work hard for all that, so keep on freesteading and preparing!

    So busy with chickens, rabbits, garden and all, keep up the good work!

    I am almost ready with the tunnel, just the last 3 m from the last bed to make by hand. Making those 7 market garden beds was a lot a hard work, but just for one time if I can keep up all the work by myself.

    Sorting seeds, the old one have to seed them all and then select the ones to keep. With or without help, I have to do it all this year to star and make the project work. Eggs and potatoes are arranged, vegetables and fruit must be worked on.

    Now have to go to work, have a blessed day all.
